Cognitive disconnection

Cognitive disconnection is the experience of feeling distant and detached from one's sense of identity, thought stream, and general cognitive processes. This leads into states such as depersonalisation, derealisation, memory suppression, "ego death" and a general array of cognitive suppressions. The experience of this can also create a wide range of subjective changes to a person's perception of their own consciousness. These are described and documented in the list below:

Feeling as though one's conscious thought stream and memories are not one's own

Feeling as if one's conscious thought processes are distant and vague

Feeling as if one's conscious thought processes have become autonomous and mechanical in their structure or behaviour

Feeling a decrease in the overall speed, connectivity, and analytical abilities of one's cognitive abilities
